Package ‘projections’
                                           June 30, 2020
Title Project Future Case Incidence
Version 0.5.1
Description
     Provides functions and graphics for projecting daily incidence based on past incidence, and esti-
     mates of the serial interval and reproduction number. Projections are based on a branching pro-
     cess using a Poisson-distributed number of new cases per day, similar to the model used for esti-
     mating R in 'EpiEstim' or in 'earlyR', and described by Nouvel-
     let et al. (2017) . The package provides the S3 class 'projec-
     tions' which extends 'matrix', with accessors and additional helpers for handling, subset-
     ting, merging, or adding these objects, as well as dedicated printing and plotting methods.

    as.matrix.projections Conversion of projections objects

Description
     These functions convert projections objects into other classes.

Usage
     ## S3 method for class 'projections'
     as.matrix(x, ...)

     ## S3 method for class 'projections'
     as.data.frame(x, ..., long = FALSE)

Arguments
     x                    An projections object, or an object to be converted as projections (see de-
                          tails).
     ...                  Further arguments passed to other functions (no used).
     long                 A logical indicating if the output data.frame should be ’long’, i.e. where a single
                          column containing ’groups’ is added in case of data computed on several groups.

  build_projections           Constructor for projections objects

Description
    This function builds a valid projections object from some input simulations and dates.

Usage
    build_projections(x, dates = NULL, cumulative = FALSE, order_dates = TRUE)

Arguments
    x                  A matrix of simulated incidence stored as integers, where rows correspond to
                       dates and columns to simulations.
    dates              A vector of dates containing one value per row in x; acceptable formats are:
                       integer, Date, and POSIXct; if NULL, the time steps will be counted, with the
                       first dates corresponding to 0.
    cumulative         A logical indicating if data represent cumulative incidence; defaults to FALSE.
    order_dates        A logical indicating whether the dates should be ordered, from the oldest to the
                       most recent one; ‘TRUE‘ by default.

Arguments
    x                  A projections object.

  project                     Project future incidence

Description
    This function simulates future incidence based on past incidence data, a selection of plausible re-
    production numbers (R), and the distribution of the serial interval (time from primary onset to
    secondary onset).

Usage
    project(
      x,
      R,
      si,
      n_sim = 100,
      n_days = 7,
      R_fix_within = FALSE,
      model = c("poisson", "negbin"),
      size = 0.03,
      time_change = NULL
    )

Arguments
    x                  An incidence object containing daily incidence; other time intervals will trig-
                       ger an error.
    R                  A vector of numbers representing plausible reproduction numbers; for instance,
                       these can be samples from a posterior distribution using the ‘earlyR‘ or ‘Epi-
                       Estim‘ packages. If ‘time_change‘ is provided, then it must be a ‘vector‘ (for
                       fixed values of R per time window) or a ‘list‘ of vectors (for separate distribu-
                       tions of R per time window), with one element more than the number of dates
                       in ‘time_change‘.
    si                 A function computing the serial interval, or a ‘numeric‘ vector providing its
                       mass function, starting a day 1, so that si[i] is the PMF for serial interval of
                       ‘i‘. The model implicitly assumes that ‘si[0] = 0‘. For functions, we strongly
                       recommend using the RECON package distcrete to obtain such distribution
                       (see example).
    n_sim              The number of epicurves to simulate. Defaults to 100.
    n_days             The number of days to run simulations for. Defaults to 14.
    R_fix_within       A logical indicating if R should be fixed within simulations (but still varying
                       across simulations). If FALSE, R is drawn for every simulation and every time
                       step. Fixing values within simulations favours more extreme predictions (see
                       details)
    model              Distribution to be used for projections. Must be one of "poisson" or "negbin"
                       (negative binomial process). Defaults to poisson
12                                                                                                 project

     size               size parameter of negative binomial distribition. Ignored if model is poisson
     time_change        an optional vector of times at which the simulations should use a different sam-
                        ple of reproduction numbers, provided in days into the simulation (so that day
                        ’1’ is the first day after the input ‘incidence‘ object); if provided, ‘n‘ dates in
                        ‘time_change‘ will produce ‘n+1‘ time windows, in which case ‘R‘ should be a
                        list of vectors of ‘n+1‘ ‘R‘ values, one per each time window.

Details
     The decision to fix R values within simulations (R_fix_within) reflects two alternative views of
     the uncertainty associated with R. When drawing R values at random from the provided sample,
     (R_fix_within set to FALSE), it is assumed that R varies naturally, and can be treated as a random
     variable with a given distribution. When fixing values within simulations (R_fix_within set to
     TRUE), R is treated as a fixed parameter, and the uncertainty is merely a consequence of the estima-
     tion of R. In other words, the first view is rather Bayesian, while the second is more frequentist.

Usage
    ## S3 method for class 'projections'
    x[i, j]

    ## S3 method for class 'projections'
    subset(x, ..., from = NULL, to = NULL, sim = TRUE)

Arguments
    x                  An projections object, generated by the function project.
    i                  a subset of dates to retain
    j                  a subset of groups to retain
    ...                Further arguments passed to other methods (not used).
    from               The starting date; data strictly before this date are discarded.
    to                 The ending date; data strictly after this date are discarded.
    sim                (optional) The simulations to retained, indicated as subsets of the columns of x.
